Rhinebeck Sweater

Once again I have made a Rhinebeck sweater. And once again, it did not have all its buttons upon its debut. Ah well, it wouldn't be a Rhinebeck sweater if it was actually complete, right?



This is a Vine Yoke Cardigan by Ysolde Teague. I knit it out of some delicious MCN Worsted custom-dyed by Gherkins Bucket. It is some of the softest, squishiest yarn I've even used. And it's amazing in garter stitch.



I found the pattern rather difficult to follow, which resulted in two sweater fronts twice their intended size. Since I was finishing it up the night before Rhinebeck I decided to rip back one side far enough to compensate for my mistake, resulting in an asymmetrical sweater. I rather like it that way. If I were to make this again (and I wouldn't be surprised if I did), I'd follow some of the mods suggested on Rav for the short rows in the yoke.
